Re: Can't find CDR device in -mm only

Thanks Jens! I can now see my burner.

There was the other problem I mentioned too. I use the xcdroast front
end to cdrecord and when I try and dupe a cd it always thinks the cd is
an audio cd and tries to copy it with cdda2wav. This is a big problem
for data cds :) Any idea on what might cause this? I think it has been
this ever since I stopped using ide-scsi in 2.5. There is detailed debug
output in the email I sent you on May 10. I can send it again if
needed.
